Viridian Artists’ Young Artists Program:

In the spirit of promoting young and emerging artists, Viridian is offering a fellowship for professional artists who are between 21-29 years of age and desire to be represented by an artist-owned and professionally operated Chelsea Gallery and become part of the New York Art Community. With full awareness of the high cost of NY living, artists selected for this program will pay half the usual cost of membership. When they reach their 30thbirthday, the dues will increase to the full membership rate. The artists' commitment for this program is for 1 year as they contribute to the financial support of the gallery through their dues.

Young Artists wishing to apply for this fellowship may submit 4-8 jpgs of recent art (along with title, size, media & date completed), an artist’s statement & resume. Or, if you have a website with images of your art, an artist statement & bio, you may send us your website for this preliminary review instead. If the committee approves of your art in this preliminary review, you will be asked to submit four actual works for the final vote.
